Woo woo woo~

The sound of the vast horn accompanied the rising of the rising sun, slowly sounded, and the main army of the Eastern Roman Empire, which had already been neatly arrayed, began to launch a full-scale attack on the defense line of the Spartan army!

Hand-to-hand fighters are in front and archers are behind, with varying numbers of sandbags and small wooden ladders to climb the earthen walls!

When the Eastern Roman Empire army attacked, the Spartan army of the First and Second Legions, under the order of Li Liguo, attacked and began to intercept the grain routes of the Eastern Roman Empire, and there was a fierce battle with the Eastern Roman Legion behind the palace!

In order to attack the city, the army of the Eastern Roman Empire naturally put the main force of the army on the front line, and most of the soldiers guarding the grain route were auxiliary legionnaires, and there were not many of them!

Although these auxiliary legionnaires were well trained, they were simply unable to repel the attack of the battle-hardened First and Second Spartan Legions, and the urgent heralds kept reporting to the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Roman Empire at the front!

The army of the Eastern Roman Empire has already begun to attack the defense line of the Spartan army, how can it be said to retreat at this time?

The commander of the Eastern Roman Empire army only sent a group of reserves to support the garrison behind, and the interesting thing is that the reserve team did not wait for the destination to reach the destination, and was conveyed to Li Liguo by the Spartan scouts......

Just when the garrison of the reserve grain road breathed a sigh of relief, the Eastern Roman Empire army was attacked by the third and fourth armies of Sparta behind the flank!

The 150,000-strong army is in formation, which is quite wide!

Behind the flank, there was a weak point in the garrison of the Eastern Roman army, and it was soon smashed open by the Spartan soldiers of the third and fourth legions!

The Roman commander, who was mobilizing his troops to fight the Spartan soldiers of the 6th to 10th legions, received another urgent paperwork......

The reserve team was once again withdrawn, and as a result, the Spartan scouts scattered throughout the periphery of the battlefield quickly got specific information, and Li Liguo could calmly change his direction again......

150,000 troops, if you really choose a place to attack, it is too much!

Because in order to break through the defense line of the Spartan legion, the army of the Eastern Roman Empire will inevitably deploy the main force on the front line, ready to reinforce at any time!

Li Liguo made full use of the advantages of his battlefield intelligence, avoided the reserve reinforcements of the Eastern Roman Empire one step in advance, and attacked the soldiers of the Eastern Roman Empire from other directions, always causing a situation where more and less were fought!

If it weren't for the fact that almost all the legionnaires of the Eastern Roman Empire were regular troops who had experienced the baptism of battle, they would not have been able to stop the attack of the Spartan army!

This situation was nothing at first, and the reserves of the Eastern Roman Empire army could still be mobilized to resist the attack of the Spartan legion, and only one-third of the opponent's elite legion was needed at a time to hold it firmly!

But!

The reserve is being drawn less and less, and the reserve team is being drawn to report the situation to the commander, and the herald has to run back and forth for half a day, and there is no radio in ancient times, Li Liguo is taking advantage of this time difference, and the Spartan army with two legions can perfectly ensure that they will not suffer losses, and they can also attack and move one by one, and continue to disperse the reserves of the Eastern Roman Empire!

Seriously affected the strength of the front's offensive against the Spartan corps' defenses!

In fact, those cannon fodder soldiers of the 6th to 10th legions of Sparta are really not strong in combat, if the Eastern Roman Empire attacks with all its strength at any cost, it won't take long to break through!

It's a pity that due to the troublemaking of Li Liguo's two groups of attack legions, the commander of the Eastern Roman Empire army obviously felt that his strength was insufficient!

With a large number of reserves being withdrawn, it is simply impossible to deliver a fatal blow to the Spartan army defending on all fronts!

Every time, when the opponent was crumbling, there were no troops to invest, or they were supported by the Spartan legions of other roads, and they could not send troops to expand the results of the battle, and they were driven back to their own positions......

A good blitzkrieg was brutally beaten into a war of attrition!

Even if the Eastern Roman Empire army is strong, the attacker can still play a casualty ratio of about 1 to 1, but you must know that the Spartan army on the opposite side is a cannon fodder regiment that has just been pulled up, trained and reorganized for less than half a year, and has no combat experience, and the dead soldiers of the Eastern Roman Empire are all veterans accumulated all year round!

This was such a loss for the Eastern Roman Empire!

On the third day, the commander of the Eastern Roman Empire used one night to strengthen the defenses of the attacked places, and all the supporting reserves were withdrawn, intending to press it directly as soon as it was dawn, and crush the Spartan garrison on the opposite side before the Spartan field army attacked successfully!

In order to increase the probability of success of this plan, the Eastern Roman Empire pressed all the troops of the first wave of attack to the most capable elite Roman legion heavy infantry!

As soon as the morning dawned, under the sacrificial attack of the elite troops of the entire Eastern Roman Empire, very good results were achieved, and the defense line of the Spartan army was in full emergency!

Several earthen walls are lost!

At this time, Li Liguo's first and second armies had just begun to attack the rear grain routes of the Eastern Roman Empire army, even if the reserve army was mentally prepared, but under the huge disparity in strength, it still retreated, if there was no reinforcement from the Eastern Roman Empire army, it would be a matter of time before it was crushed, and when the time came, it would be the end of a large amount of grain and grass in the Eastern Roman Empire being burned!

Naturally, the Roman commander also received this news, but instead of sending reinforcements to support the reserve grain route, he once again strengthened the attack, and the defense line of the Spartan army was already unstable!

The Roman commanders knew very well that as long as they broke through this Spartan defense, they would be able to reach all the way behind, and when the time came, even if the grain and grass were burned, they could fight all the way to the city of Rome, where there was enough food to feed the army!

Unless that Li Liguo takes his remaining troops and fights with himself!

In a dignified field battle, the Roman commander had enough confidence to destroy the Spartan army, which had only risen to less than 100,000 men for more than a year!

However, just as the elite Roman heavy infantry corps at the forefront was about to break through, the Fifth Legion of Sparta deployed at the rear was hand-armed!

Without hesitation, General Ares abandoned the car to protect the commander, and all the archers and trebuchets aimed at the cannon fodder defense line that was about to collapse, and launched a collective killing of the Roman heavy infantry and cannon fodder soldiers who were fighting together!

A rain of arrows and fire pots rained down from the sky, completely erasing the morale of all the Roman heavy infantry legions and cannon fodder soldiers in front of them!

Whether it was the arrogant Roman hoplites of the past or the slave-born Spartan legionnaires, without exception, they were completely crushed by the unilateral slaughter!

The attack of the Eastern Roman army was completely disintegrated, but the cannon fodder soldiers of the 6th to 10th legions were also completely dispersed after being massively wounded by the Romans and slaughtered by their own people!

At this time, only the Fifth Army of Sparta was left in front of the Eastern Roman commander! (To be continued.) Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info)
